2001 came out in (I think) 1968 – I’m no spring chicken (maybe The Chicken In Winter?)
It’s amusing to see that many (most?) posters here are literally about half my age, some even less.

If “All Summer in a Day” is the short about a planet that rains constantly (Venus, before people knew how hot and full of CO2 it really is), I remember that story well. It was a haunting morality tale of the irreversible harm that can be done to someone else due to a thoughtless prank.
One poem review I forgor earlier:
O Captain! My Captain! by Walt Whitman – more schmaltz than a barrel of herring.
